Psalms 69

1 For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Lilies.” Of David. Save me, O God, for the waters are up to my neck.

1 خَلِّصْنِي يَا ٱللهُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْمِيَاهَ قَدْ دَخَلَتْ إِلَى نَفْسِي.

2 I have sunk into the miry depths, where there is no footing; I have drifted into deep waters, where the flood engulfs me.

2 غَرِقْتُ فِي حَمْأَةٍ عَمِيقَةٍ، وَلَيْسَ مَقَرٌّ. دَخَلْتُ إِلَى أَعْمَاقِ ٱلْمِيَاهِ، وَٱلسَّيْلُ غَمَرَنِي.

3 I am weary from my crying; my throat is parched. My eyes fail, looking for my God.

3 تَعِبْتُ مِنْ صُرَاخِي. يَبِسَ حَلْقِي. كَلَّتْ عَيْنَايَ مِنِ ٱنْتِظَارِ إِلَهِي.

4 Those who hate me without cause outnumber the hairs of my head; many are those who would destroy me—my enemies for no reason. Though I did not steal, I must repay.

4 أَكْثَرُ مِنْ شَعْرِ رَأْسِي ٱلَّذِينَ يُبْغِضُونَنِي بِلَا سَبَبٍ. ٱعْتَزَّ مُسْتَهْلِكِيَّ أَعْدَائِي ظُلْمًا. حِينَئِذٍ رَدَدْتُ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ أَخْطَفْهُ.

5 You know my folly, O God, and my guilt is not hidden from You.

5 يَا ٱللهُ أَنْتَ عَرَفْتَ حَمَاقَتِي، وَذُنُوبِي عَنْكَ لَمْ تَخْفَ.

6 May those who hope in You not be ashamed through me, O Lord GOD of Hosts; may those who seek You not be dishonored through me, O God of Israel.

6 لَا يَخْزَ بِي مُنْتَظِرُوكَ يَا سَيِّدُ رَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ. لَا يَخْجَلْ بِي مُلْتَمِسُوكَ يَا إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

7 For I have endured scorn for Your sake, and shame has covered my face.

7 لِأَنِّي مِنْ أَجْلِكَ ٱحْتَمَلْتُ ٱلْعَارَ. غَطَّى ٱلْخَجَلُ وَجْهِي.

8 I have become a stranger to my brothers and a foreigner to my mother’s sons,

8 صِرْتُ أَجْنَبِيًّا عِنْدَ إِخْوَتِي، وَغَرِيبًا عِنْدَ بَنِي أُمِّي.

9 because zeal for Your house has consumed me, and the insults of those who insult You have fallen on me.

9 لِأَنَّ غَيْرَةَ بَيْتِكَ أَكَلَتْنِي، وَتَعْيِيرَاتِ مُعَيِّرِيكَ وَقَعَتْ عَلَيَّ.

10 I wept and fasted, but it brought me reproach.

10 وَأَبْكَيْتُ بِصَوْمٍ نَفْسِي، فَصَارَ ذَلِكَ عَارًا عَلَيَّ.

11 I made sackcloth my clothing, and I was sport to them.

11 جَعَلْتُ لِبَاسِي مِسْحًا، وَصِرْتُ لَهُمْ مَثَلًا.

12 Those who sit at the gate mock me, and I am the song of drunkards.

12 يَتَكَلَّمُ فِيَّ ٱلْجَالِسُونَ فِي ٱلْبَابِ، وَأَغَانِيُّ شَرَّابِي ٱلْمُسْكِرِ.

13 But my prayer to You, O LORD, is for a time of favor. In Your abundant loving devotion, O God, answer me with Your sure salvation.

13 أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَكَ صَلَاتِي يَارَبُّ فِي وَقْتِ رِضًى. يَا ٱللهُ، بِكَثْرَةِ رَحْمَتِكَ ٱسْتَجِبْ لِي، بِحَقِّ خَلَاصِكَ.

14 Rescue me from the mire and do not let me sink; deliver me from my foes and out of the deep waters.

14 نَجِّنِي مِنَ ٱلطِّينِ فَلَا أَغْرَقَ. نَجِّنِي مِنْ مُبْغِضِيَّ وَمِنْ أَعْمَاقِ ٱلْمِيَاهِ.

15 Do not let the floods engulf me or the depths swallow me up; let not the Pit close its mouth over me.

15 لَا يَغْمُرَنِّي سَيْلُ ٱلْمِيَاهِ، وَلَا يَبْتَلِعَنِّي ٱلْعُمْقُ، وَلَا تُطْبِقِ ٱلْهَاوِيَةُ عَلَيَّ فَاهَا.

16 Answer me, O LORD, for Your loving devotion is good; turn to me in keeping with Your great compassion.

16 ٱسْتَجِبْ لِي يَارَبُّ لِأَنَّ رَحْمَتَكَ صَالِحَةٌ. كَكَثْرَةِ مَرَاحِمِكَ ٱلْتَفِتْ إِلَيَّ.

17 Hide not Your face from Your servant, for I am in distress. Answer me quickly!

17 وَلَا تَحْجُبْ وَجْهَكَ عَنْ عَبْدِكَ، لِأَنَّ لِي ضِيْقًا. ٱسْتَجِبْ لِي سَرِيعًا.

18 Draw near to my soul and redeem me; ransom me because of my foes.

18 ٱقْتَرِبْ إِلَى نَفْسِي. فُكَّهَا. بِسَبَبِ أَعْدَائِي ٱفْدِنِي.

19 You know my reproach, my shame and disgrace. All my adversaries are before You.

19 أَنْتَ عَرَفْتَ عَارِي وَخِزْيِي وَخَجَلِي. قُدَّامَكَ جَمِيعُ مُضَايِقِيَّ.

20 Insults have broken my heart, and I am in despair. I looked for sympathy, but there was none, for comforters, but I found no one.

20 ٱلْعَارُ قَدْ كَسَرَ قَلْبِي فَمَرِضْتُ. ٱنْتَظَرْتُ رِقَّةً فَلَمْ تَكُنْ، وَمُعَزِّينَ فَلَمْ أَجِدْ.

21 They poisoned my food with gall and gave me vinegar to quench my thirst.

21 وَيَجْعَلُونَ فِي طَعَامِي عَلْقَمًا، وَفِي عَطَشِي يَسْقُونَنِي خَلًّا.

22 May their table become a snare; may it be a retribution and a trap.

22 لِتَصِرْ مَائِدَتُهُمْ قُدَّامَهُمْ فَخًّا، وَلِلْآمِنِينَ شَرَكًا.

23 May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever.

23 لِتُظْلِمْ عُيُونُهُمْ عَنِ ٱلْبَصَرِ، وَقَلْقِلْ مُتُونَهُمْ دَائِمًا.

24 Pour out Your wrath upon them, and let Your burning anger overtake them.

24 صُبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ سَخَطَكَ، وَلْيُدْرِكْهُمْ حُمُوُّ غَضَبِكَ.

25 May their place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in their tents.

25 لِتَصِرْ دَارُهُمْ خَرَابًا، وَفِي خِيَامِهِمْ لَا يَكُنْ سَاكِنٌ.

26 For they persecute the one You struck and recount the pain of those You wounded.

26 لِأَنَّ ٱلَّذِي ضَرَبْتَهُ أَنْتَ هُمْ طَرَدُوهُ، وَبِوَجَعِ ٱلَّذِينَ جَرَحْتَهُمْ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ.

27 Add iniquity to their iniquity; let them not share in Your righteousness.

27 اِجْعَلْ إِثْمًا عَلَى إِثْمِهِمْ، وَلَا يَدْخُلُوا فِي بِرِّكَ.

28 May they be blotted out of the Book of Life and not listed with the righteous.

28 لِيُمْحَوْا مِنْ سِفْرِ ٱلْأَحْيَاءِ، وَمَعَ ٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ لَا يُكْتَبُوا.

29 But I am in pain and distress; let Your salvation protect me, O God.

29 أَمَّا أَنَا فَمِسْكِينٌ وَكَئِيبٌ. خَلَاصُكَ يَا ٱللهُ فَلْيُرَفِّعْنِي.

30 I will praise God’s name in song and exalt Him with thanksgiving.

30 أُسَبِّحُ ٱسْمَ ٱللهِ بِتَسْبِيحٍ، وَأُعَظِّمُهُ بِحَمْدٍ.

31 And this will please the LORD more than an ox, more than a bull with horns and hooves.

31 فَيُسْتَطَابُ عِنْدَ ٱلرَّبِّ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ثَوْرِ بَقَرٍ ذِي قُرُونٍ وَأَظْلَافٍ.

32 The humble will see and rejoice. You who seek God, let your hearts be revived!

32 يَرَى ذَلِكَ ٱلْوُدَعَاءُ فَيَفْرَحُونَ، وَتَحْيَا قُلُوبُكُمْ يَا طَالِبِي ٱللهِ.

33 For the LORD listens to the needy and does not despise His captive people.

33 لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ سَامِعٌ لِلْمَسَاكِينِ وَلَا يَحْتَقِرُ أَسْرَاهُ.

34 Let heaven and earth praise Him, the seas and everything that moves in them.

34 تُسَبِّحُهُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ، ٱلْبِحَارُ وَكُلُّ مَا يَدِبُّ فِيهَا.

35 For God will save Zion and rebuild the cities of Judah, that they may dwell there and possess it.

35 لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ يُخَلِّصُ صِهْيَوْنَ وَيَبْنِي مُدُنَ يَهُوذَا، فَيَسْكُنُونَ هُنَاكَ وَيَرِثُونَهَا.

36 The descendants of His servants will inherit it, and those who love His name will settle in it.

36 وَنَسْلُ عَبِيدِهِ يَمْلِكُونَهَا، وَمُحِبُّو ٱسْمِهِ يَسْكُنُونَ فِيهَا.
